Sad, wishful that he gets the help he desperately needs. Debbie Marek, NJ

I write this with sadness because he was not like this when I first met him., When I first met him and as time went on, I more than respected him. I really did. And, he won my case. As time went on I had given a large sum of money (COVID TIME) to get a Goverors pardon and he kept saying we should wai...t until election and someone who is more gun friendly. This made sense, so I agreed. As time went on,, the same Governor won. i decided to “make a move” rather than sit stagnant. I even suggested that we go for an expungement (even though it was premature). Well, I didn’t get my $7,500 back and he never did any work for me. He did agree to pay $500 weekly. I’m lucky if he’ll give $100…and that only if I pull teeth. He pai $2,300 to date and informed me that he only owed me $2,200… FOR WHAT?!? I even got the pardon application (early on, when we were going to go that route). I requested and paid several hundred dollars to get court transcripts. Is he charging $2,800 for putting the court transcript in the shelf. Every time I called and asked him if he looked at it, he hasn’t had the chance. Which, okay, this can happen. People get busy. But what am I paying $2,800 for? When I say I write this with sincere sadness, I mean that 100%. I liked Bob and I saw him like a friend. I never expected him to do this to me to this day. To this day, I have to call and practically beg him for $100. $100 of my money. I am hurt, sad, angry, all of the above. He claims he doesn’t have the money. That’s his business. I don’t know the background or the story or what not, so I’m not going to pretend to know . I can speculate, but the truth is, I don’t know. But that doesn’t change the fact that he owes me $5000. He won a case for me in my hometown and he charged me an extremely reasonable rate. He probably under charged me. I get that. So is this my punishment for being under charged for him representing me in the DWI case. Which, the DWI was because I was tired, driving while impaired, if you’re tired they consider that impaired. And he won the case. But I shouldn’t have to pay now for the fact that he charged such minimal amount. I really don’t know what to do and how to get my money back, if I can go to small claims court, will they take it. Any advice. Don’t say talk to him. Because he’s made it clear in a very arrogant way, that I am not getting my money. Please, I need help and advice

SIMPLY STATED: HE IS THE BEST ATTORNEY BY FAR

I reached out to Mr. Pentangelo in despair and a feeling of defeat. I was issued a DWI in a nearby town of the New Brunswick area (not in New Brunswick). Anyway, from beginning to end, Mr. Pentangelo was cautious (as one would need to be in a very small, tight knit town. Plus, I has several EXTRAORDI...NARY circumstances involving my case). Bottom line is...HE WON MY CASE. He is by far the most meticulous, strategic thinking attorney I know. And, if anyone has ever dealt with attorney’s (which I have dealt with them in “needed” situations, as well as having several friends in the field of practice), one would know that Mr. Pentangelo is not only Professional in every sense of the word, Caring, Pleasant-Mannered, Thinks strategically/Meticulously.....but, Mr. Pentangelo is a fighter. HE WILL FIGHT FOR YOU TO THE VERY END. He leaves no stone unturned. He will respect your wishes (of course) if you do not agree with a certain tactic or if you choose to allow your case to go only so far. But, he will encourage and direct you the best way. And, bare in mind, he will fight for you to the end ...BUT, he will he right there with you 100%. He may leave no stone unturned, but he also doesn’t leave his clients feeling emotionally abandoned. This is an important aspect when choosing an attorney. With him, you never have to wonder about ANYTHING. HE HAS IT ALL UNDER CONTROL, and assured you of this, as well as informs you if anything is not going in the direction he had hoped for. He does all this knowing it may be more work on his part....but he’s always ready to “push back”. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MR. PENTANGELO, ESQ. Don’t be foolish, hire the BEST. And, that he is!!!! Debbie

Would recommend to anyone

Mr. Pentangelo represented me recently on a dwi case and to say I was extremely impressed is an understatement. While offering a great price compared to others, Mr. Pentangelo was a fantastic lawyer and one I'd recommend to anyone I know. He took great care of me and made me feel at ease and confiden...t throughout the process. I am extremely thankful and grateful for the Mr. Pentangelo's services and anyone being represented by him in the future will definitely feel the same.

Great Results

I had Mr. Pentangelo represent me on a DUI case which other lawyers wanted 2x and 3x what he charged me; after a trial I was found not guilty. He was totally a great guy and a great lawyer.
